Updates edit-issue-labels.sh and comment-on-duplicates.sh to read the
issue number from GITHUB_EVENT_PATH (the workflow event payload) instead
of accepting it as a CLI argument. Simplifies the call signature and
keeps the scripts aligned with the triggering issue.
Also updates the /triage-issue and /dedupe command docs to match.

@@ -13,7 +13,7 @@ To do this, follow these steps precisely:
4. Next, feed the results from #1 and #2 into another agent, so that it can filter out false positives, that are likely not actually duplicates of the original issue. If there are no duplicates remaining, do not proceed.
5. Finally, use the comment script to post duplicates:
- If the issue doesn't have lifecycle labels but clearly needs them (e.g., a maintainer asked for repro steps or more details), add the appropriate label.
- Comments like "+1", "me too", "same here", or emoji reactions are NOT the missing information. Only remove `needs-repro` or `needs-info` when substantive details are actually provided.
- Do NOT add or remove category labels (bug, enhancement, etc.) on comment events.
- Added MCP tool result persistence override via `_meta["anthropic/maxResultSizeChars"]` annotation (up to 500K), allowing larger results like DB schemas to pass through without truncation

- [VSCode] Added `/remote-control` — bridge your session to claude.ai/code to continue from a browser or phone
- [VSCode] Session tabs now get AI-generated titles based on your first message
- [VSCode] Fixed the thinking pill showing "Thinking" instead of "Thought for Ns" after a response completes
- [VSCode] Fixed missing session diff button when opening sessions from the left sidebar
## 2.1.78
- Added `StopFailure` hook event that fires when the turn ends due to an API error (rate limit, auth failure, etc.)
- Added `${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_DATA}` variable for plugin persistent state that survives plugin updates; `/plugin uninstall` prompts before deleting it
- Added `effort`, `maxTurns`, and `disallowedTools` frontmatter support for plugin-shipped agents
- Terminal notifications (iTerm2/Kitty/Ghostty popups, progress bar) now reach the outer terminal when running inside tmux with `set -g allow-passthrough on`
- Response text now streams line-by-line as it's generated
- Fixed `git log HEAD` failing with "ambiguous argument" inside sandboxed Bash on Linux, and stub files polluting `git status` in the working directory
- Fixed `cc log` and `--resume` silently truncating conversation history on large sessions (>5 MB) that used subagents
- Fixed infinite loop when API errors triggered stop hooks that re-fed blocking errors to the model
- Fixed `deny: ["mcp__servername"]` permission rules not removing MCP server tools before sending to the model, allowing it to see and attempt blocked tools
- Fixed `sandbox.filesystem.allowWrite` not working with absolute paths (previously required `//` prefix)
- Fixed `/sandbox` Dependencies tab showing Linux prerequisites on macOS instead of macOS-specific info
- **Security:** Fixed silent sandbox disable when `sandbox.enabled: true` is set but dependencies are missing — now shows a visible startup warning
- Fixed `.git`, `.claude`, and other protected directories being writable without a prompt in `bypassPermissions` mode
- Fixed ctrl+u in normal mode scrolling instead of readline kill-line (ctrl+u/ctrl+d half-page scroll moved to transcript mode only)
- Fixed voice mode modifier-combo push-to-talk keybindings (e.g. ctrl+k) requiring a hold instead of activating immediately
- Fixed voice mode not working on WSL2 with WSLg (Windows 11); WSL1/Win10 users now get a clear error
- Fixed `--worktree` flag not loading skills and hooks from the worktree directory
- Fixed `CLAUDE_CODE_DISABLE_GIT_INSTRUCTIONS` and `includeGitInstructions` setting not suppressing the git status section in the system prompt
- Fixed Bash tool not finding Homebrew and other PATH-dependent binaries when VS Code is launched from Dock/Spotlight
- Fixed washed-out Claude orange color in VS Code/Cursor/code-server terminals that don't advertise truecolor support
- Added `ANTHROPIC_CUSTOM_MODEL_OPTION` env var to add a custom entry to the `/model` picker, with optional `_NAME` and `_DESCRIPTION` suffixed vars for display
- Fixed `ANTHROPIC_BETAS` environment variable being silently ignored when using Haiku models
- Fixed queued prompts being concatenated without a newline separator
- Improved memory usage and startup time when resuming large sessions
- [VSCode] Fixed a brief flash of the login screen when opening the sidebar while already authenticated
- [VSCode] Fixed "API Error: Rate limit reached" when selecting Opus — model dropdown no longer offers 1M context variant to subscribers whose plan tier is unknown
## 2.1.77
- Increased default maximum output token limits for Claude Opus 4.6 to 64k tokens, and the upper bound for Opus 4.6 and Sonnet 4.6 models to 128k tokens
